Probably. I'm not sure what type of connection they use, but I imagine that there is some PCI card out there that you could use

You need either a video card or TV tuner card with a video input.

That's what I meant, I just couldn't find the right words

Yes, if you don't have a card with video in, it would probably be easier/cheaper to just buy a vga adapter like this:

Perhaps you can get a VGA adapter from Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, computer stores....shouldn't be too hard to find.

yes you either need an adapter or similier or an "All In Wonder" type video card.

any video-in capable card with the RCA inputs will work. you can probably also find converters to go from RCA to cable coax and use a TV card
